The year-round water attracts large numbers of wildlife, including whitetail deer, turkey, hog, dove, many species of birds and other small animals.

M arilyn H offman the one hundred million dollar realtor  ’ expertise in selling extraordinary farms, ranches and estate properties attracts a clientele that reads like a Who’s Who of business, sports, entertainment and the social register. Golfer Lee Trevino, a Saudi Prince, sports legend Deion Sanders, transportation secretary Milo Bryant, a billionaire Texas oilman, Horatio Alger Member, Carl Westcott, cosmetics queen Mary Kay, Merv Griffin, and a major sports team owner have all been her clients.

Marilyn recently made history by listing the most expensive home in Texas, a $100,000,000 property. She also sold one of the largest estates in Texas to the new owners of a major sports team. Her sale of a $9,995,000 Penthouse in Dallas was the most expensive penthouse ever sold in Dallas.

Marilyn sold a $13,500,000 estate to the owners of a Scottish castle. Her most recent sale was a $20,000,000 estate that she listed, sold and closed for full price in 24 days. This 35,000 sq. ft. home was the largest and most expensive sale in the state. This estate was previously listed with another international realtor at a lower price and did not sell.

“Marilyn’s aggressive approach to the international marketing of the property resulted in a completed transaction in five months from start to finish. I’m hasten to add that the prior agencies failed completely to do any effective marketing of Brantley Manor, although I did spend a substantial upfront marketing fee with them.”

Marilyn sold one of the most famous Hill country ranches, the Double Diamond Ranch, with 2,000 acres, 20 homes and an exotic game preserve.

The Broken O Ranch, one of the most grand and significant ranches in the western United States, encompassing approximately 124,000 acres of deeded and leased land, is located 45 miles west of Great Falls, Montana and east of the stunning Rocky Mountains. Under the vision of William E. and Desiree B. Moore, founders of the Kelly-Moore Paint Company, 20 years were spent assembling this massive landholding. Spread across three counties, the ranch was carefully shaped and improved by the Moores to create this productive enterprise. The Broken O currently carries approximately 4,500 animal units. The ranch contains the largest block of irrigated land in Montana – about 13,000 acres – historically averaging around 25,000 tons of alfalfa hay and 700,000 bushels of small-grain crops annually. Over 20 miles of the beautiful Sun River flow through the ranch, offering prime irrigation benefits as well as amazing recreational assets. The Sun River corridor provides exceptional trout fishing, big-game hunting, as well as extensive upland game bird and waterfowl populations. The Broken O Ranch is offered turn-key, including all livestock, hay and grain inventories at the time of sale, plus machinery and equipment, for $132,500,000.
